Make a music video for Morning Musume

Idol group Morning Musume is holding an “original promotion video” contest through their official MySpace page. Participants are being asked to submit their own creations for the PV of “3,2,1 BREAKIN’ OUT!,” which is the B-side of their latest single, “Shouganai Yume Oibito.” Contestants will have free access to the song’s audio track and over 80 video clips of Morning Musume, shot against a green screen. The materials can be freely edited to create a complete music video.

Tsunku and Morning Musume members will serve as judges. Because “Shouganai Yume Oibito” is the group’s 39th single, the winner of the contest will receive 390,000 yen. Submissions are being accepted until June 19, and the winner is expected to be announced in July when Tsunku and Morning Musume attend Anime Expo in Los Angeles. More details can be found on the MySpace page.
